If you use fabric softeners on your shirts, they are coated in a little bit of wax (or something, can't remember the details), making it more likely that your shirt will just smear whatever you've got on your glasses rather than wiping it.

I have to either use a mouse that has a hundred years of battery life but stutter in games (even in its performance profile) or one that dies if you even look at it but is as smooth as silk.

Logitech 602 vs. G700. They are both terrible.

After 13 stoic and reliable years, surviving in a climate where the air temperature reaches -40 (f or c, they're the same) yearly, I've had to replace the battery in my vehicle. I wanted to give it a proper Viking burial, but my dad took it in for a $10 credit.

My G602 doesn't stutter at all, have you tried the obvious stuff like different USB ports/moving the receiver for better reception?

The G700s is the most incredible mouse I've ever used and also has the worst battery.

Like, what the hell Logitech?


Why can't I have a kickass mouse with half a dozen easily programmable buttons and a recharging dock like the great MX series?

In a follow up to drilling nightmare, I had to do a video interview today. I went round to try and to politely ask them to just do something else for 30 minutes, but they all spoke Romanian and shrugged at me. So inevitably there's the constant drilling drone going on in my interview. When they look back on why I went on my axe murdering spree, they can point to these posts as justification.

I am having this exact problem. And now drugstore.com is closed, so I can't get their house-brand lotion that worked so well. Time to spend all the money trying lotions which might make my hand-leprosy worse!

I hope you find something that works for you!! mine really comes and goes so I have no idea what helps anymore.

My mom had the same problem until she bought those overnight moisturizing gloves. They are like $15 on Amazon, give them a shot.

my husband got me a pair of aloe-infused gloves from his work (they work okay, but they're really fluffy and weird) and I took them off in my sleep and they ended up near his face. :v: I need to get some of the cotton gloves instead.

I have. I've tried everything. Even taking off the glass top of my desk. Nothing works. It was fine for a couple months and now I can't play anything with it.

With better batteries in my keyboard, I just treat the 700 as a wired mouse and swap the cable at night.

Since I have tomorrow off, I decided to have a shouldn't-but-gently caress-it second dinner to ensure that the booze I had wouldn't gently caress me up.

It basically succeeded, except that I'm just toasty enough that, despite eating, I desperately want some McDonald's chicken tenders and fries.

I'm not even drunk, I just want some damned mcnuggets that, rationally, I shouldn't eat.

later edit: and of course, I got someone else's order.

My insomnia has been acting up something fierce lately. To make things worse a recent doctor visit pointed out that my earwax is building up like crazy again. I've been dealing with that but now it seems to have gunked up my left ear canal badly enough that I can't hear well out of it and I also have an earache.

I got a good Nikon camera for free but it's so slow. I'm used to Canon which takes pics immediately but the Nikon has a HUGE delay. I have a Canon but it's worse than the Nikon in terms of pixels but the delay on the Nikon is... ugh. Also everything is the exact opposite, like to change the lens it's to the left where on a Canon it's change lens to the right. To zoom in it's to the right, not the left. Even the power button is the other way.

I won't play the new Final Fantasy because I can't play as a woman. I don't care for j-rock or j-pop guys.

Some camera nerds on the forum can probably point you in the right direction. Most cameras have lots of discretionary options to change how fast it will take a shot. Obviously it depends on what exactly the delay is and what's causing it.

One part of it is the autofocus which is really bad, but even changing to manual focus it's still weird and slow.

Where are said camera nerds?


E: I'm so used to Canon which works right out of the box. Wish I had a fancy Canon :(

Barely qualifies as a problem (and isn't lovely enough for the made-your-day-lovely thread), so whatever:

One of the major exant arcades (which I live near), the Galloping Ghost, is increasing its all-day fee from 15 bucks to 20 bucks. It's going to a good cause - increasing the amount of games and space (which it desperately needs, they tried and failed to kickstart funds to displace the two nearby shops a while ago) the place has. Plus, it's only five bucks.

The :smith: of it comes down to the fact that there's already a bunch of reasons why I don't bother going there very often (there's not much in the way of parking, it's loud, its cramped, you can't bring in random food to nosh on, a lot of the games become a chore when you're no long limited by coins, a lot of older games have lovely screens, debating how long I'm going to want to stay versus the price, etc), and even that totally-slight, totally-justified increase just adds to the reasons why I don't visit as often as I'd otherwise like.
